Abstract

Researchers have shown that the dynamic field environment for a component may not be represented well by a component level single Degree-of-Freedom shaker environmental test. Here we demonstrate for a base mounted component, a controlled six Degree-of-Freedom component level shaker test. The field response power spectral densities are well simulated by the component response on the six Degree-of-Freedom shaker. The component is the Removable Component from the boundary condition challenge problem. The field environment was established with the component mounted in the AWE Modal Analysis Test Vehicle during an acoustic test. Interesting mileposts during the process of achieving the controlled component response are discussed.
